Solution

The correct option is D $A g_{2} S O_{4}$
The solubility of a compound depends upon its hydration enthalpy. If hydration enthalpy exceeds the lattice enthalpy then it is soluble in water.
Most of the silver salts are insoluble except $A g F, A g C l O_{4}, A g N O_{3}$ .
So, $A g_{2} S O_{4}$ is insoluble in water as its hydration enthalpy is lower than lattice enthalpy.
